Don't use Fuji color 120 in the Holga. The paper is too wide and bunches up, so it doesn't roll tight.
I suck at rolling film. First roll, the tape came off, the film is all on the uptake side, won't rewind. I can't take any pics with the camera until I can get to a dark place so I can open the back and remove the film and put it back in the canister. Was able to do it in the bathroom of our hotel room. Should be ok, maybe a scratch or two. So second roll, I decide, ok, since I am not sure how many exposures are on here, I will just stop at 20 so I can rewind it and make sure the tape doesn't do that again. Wandering the city, taking pics, glance down, **** I'm at 22, time to rewind. Won't work. I went to far and did it again. :cry: It's the middle of the day, we're downtown, I don't want to have to go back to the hotel now so I can get the film out so I can continue using my camera, but I don't want to not be able to take more pics. Totally pissed at myself for screwing this up again. Michael thought maybe we could find a restroom around here, I can stuff our jackets under the door to block the light, so I end up sitting on the floor of the women's bathroom at the Starbucks across the street so I can again reroll my film into the canister. :roll:
San Francisco is very hilly. It's very obvious that it's very hilly and yet we were driving this one crazy hill and they felt the need to post a sign that said "Hill". It was hilarious.
Cable cars are fun.
